Congratulations -- Wisconsin Point Webcam funding complete!

In a few days we raises over $4200 for the new Wisconsin Point Webcam. 
Your generosity never ceases to amaze me.  Here is the plan for the cam!

• Next, I have to program and test the long range radio antennas.  
• The camera installation will be done in conjuction with a Corp of Engineers lighting upgrade project at the same time. Once the weather warms up, the upgrades can proceed.
• I have the camera on order and should be able to have it programmed and ready once the project begins.

My hope is that the installation will be complete sometime in April.  I will keep you posted as advances are made. I do expect some glitches with this project as it is a long distance to transmit a video signal.  However, I am confident it will work after some tweeks.

Thanks again, over 120 people contributed to the new cam---- simply amazing!

Heritage Tug - Edward H

We often see the Heritage tugs hard at work in the harbor, but, often don't get a chance to see these magnificent boats inside.
Today I stopped by for another peek with a 360 camera.
